In this uncertain career journey,"High income vsStable work"It seems like an eternal either/or.
Many people think that if you are looking for stability, then you may not have a satisfactory salary; Conversely, if you aspire to a high salary, you have to take on the risks and instability that come with it.
People always want to find a way to do both, but does such an option really exist?
A friend of mine recently shared this story online:"Recently, a new colleague came to our unit, a young man born in 91 as a civil servant. He only joined the civil service at the age of 33, and although he had a wealth of work experience before, his joining was not blessed by everyone. Some senior employees privately commented: 'I only became a civil servant at the age of 33, so I started too late!' At that time, we were already section-level cadres. They even predicted that it would take at least 10 years for the new colleague to be promoted to the rank of senior officer, believing that he had no future prospects. ”
In this regard, some people immediately questioned it on the Internet:"Those old employees are too stubborn, right? It seems that it is an ironclad thing to be promoted to the section level ten years after entering the system. The reality is brutal, and there are many people who are still just ordinary employees when they retire. Without good luck and no one to support, it is not so easy to sit on a section-level position. ”
There is also an argument that entering the system in your 30s is just right – at least all that you should have experienced.
After entering the system, you can work until retirement with peace of mind, and your pension is guaranteed.
If you go directly from school to work in the system, you will live a life that can be seen, and it will be very boring.
When you get older, you may regret that you didn't have the courage to go on a brave adventure.
There are also voices that agree: "If you can be sure that you still have a chance to be admitted to the civil service in your 30s, why rush to graduate and join it?" Take advantage of your youth to give it a go, earn money and accumulate experience in the broader world outside; Wouldn't it be nice to wait until you are a little older and then return to the system to enjoy stability and tranquility? ”
Personally, I quite agree with this netizen's point of view.
When we are young, we all want to make a big splash, and we want to go out and make a splash; However, after hitting a wall in the real world, many people begin to gradually realize that most people are just ordinary people in their lives, and not every dream eventually blossoms.
This reality cannot be deeply perceived through the oral statements of others, but can only be comprehended through personal experience.
As a result, you'll hear a lot of advice from seniors: "Graduate and join the system – save yourself from reality." ”
But how can we be willing to easily label ourselves as "ordinary"?
Everyone has an ambition to achieve something great.
But in the face of the harsh reality, we are often left with only heavy lessons in the end.
It is also a good plan to fight hard in the youth, and to find your own position in the system in middle age.
Many of my colleagues around me have a similar plan: earn some money while you are young, and then look for a position in the system to live out your old age as you get older.
But here's the problem – everyone needs to face up to the important problem: social recruitment is much more difficult to get into positions in the system than campus recruitment, and because of its stability and popularity, there are not many places for social recruitment.
High income + job stability" is not an easy task; If you don't have a lot of confidence in yourself entering the system, think twice.
